Types Of Goth Fashion In Goth Subculture 

Just remember guys, you do NOT have to exclusively listen to goth music to be goth! You can listen to anything else, the entire “alternative” community is welcoming and anyone who says otherwise and judges you for your taste is not a true one.

Some facts you may also find intersting - Cybergoths are closer to ravers than goths, hence their other name "graver" (gothic-raver). They mostly (although not always exclusively) listened to genres like EBM, industrial, gabber, & harsh noise. There's some elements of goth in their fashion but their appearance was mostly inspired by cyberpunk. On-lookers see anything out of the 'norm' and darkly inclined and it gets lumped under the goth umbrella, although it's a genre of it's own and their music is very different from gothic-rock. 'Vampire' and 'romantic' goth derived from gothic literature. I think it was Voltaire that claimed "vampire goths are essentially romantic goths with fangs". Perhaps a controversial opinion, but goth really doesn't need all the sub-categories. It is in itself a music based sub-culture so the fashion doesn't any less diminish a person's identity. I can appreciate the labels purely from a research point of view e.g. people searching the internet for a particular items of clothing may find the terms useful. But goth itself doesn't need to be broken down into categories as this could lead to people feeling limited or like they need to fit into a particular sub-genre of goth. I do find that the labels are getting out of hand when goth gets fused with literally any other genre or fashion e.g. hippy-goth. If we did this for everything then the categories could go on endlessly. I've took elements from all sorts of fashion over the years but always simply classed myself as goth. Further to this point, you can listen to gothic-rock but also appreciate and listen to other genres of music. You don't have to limit your tastes just to feel part of the subculture. As long as people are happy with being given the goth label and have an appreciation for the music then they are welcomed in the scene regardless of what they are wearing. 🖤

MANA SAMA!!! AS A VKEI FAN I'M SO HAPPY WE GOT REPRESENTED IN THIS VIDEO

Thank you for mentioning the androgyny, gender bending aspects of the styles and looks, and also for being clear about Mana being a "him". Goth used to totally embrace gender non conformity, and androgyny without assuming a person sexual orientation. I am one that gravitated to the scene for the acceptance of us not so "MANLY" men that love dresses and such. It seems to have toned down a bit, which is a shame really.

W FOR ADDING MANA OMGG I CLICKED SO FAST WHEN I SAW HIM I LOVE VISUAL KEI

i saw mana in the thumbnail so i just had to click

That's all cool and great but I do believe you forgot to mention, that goth people ( especially adults) do not wear these fashionable looks everyday. 95% of time we wear the same clothes as normies ( well, maybe a bit darker if you know what I mean) and only 5% - the LOOKS are on us (parties/festivals etc etc). I can't imagine myself in the customers office wearing platforms and heavy makeup - security team would not allow me to pass the reception even with personal card :| p.s You don't have to wear all this clothes to be goth tho. Listening music is the key, not which fashion style your clothes belong to.

I'm wayyy more of a metalhead, but I also love gothic rock and dark wave, and I've loved goth fashion since I was kid. I don't dress goth, but I'm very interested in it, so thanks for making this video!

i will respect mana sama on the thumbnail

MANASAMA FANGIRLS UNITE I ACTUALLY LOVE HIM SM THX FOR INTRODUCING ME TO HIM LMAO

I don't know why people always forget to mention the "Flapper goth" style, that was extremely popular in the late 80s to early 90s (1988 to 1992).

You: "Goth ✨" Auto-generated captions: "GOD."

Goth and grunge fashion are the two types of fashion that really can have different kinda shi for different ppl like for example like thr shi Kurt wore was a different kinda grunge then like what ppl "classify" with grunge now , same with goth as well ig😅

Type O Negative vampire metal music

i've always admired gothic fashion and this video taught me so much more about it and the subculture in general 🖤🗝️ thank you 💝💞

I wonder, what would be the most notable fashion characteristics of Gothic Metal fans? (Think Nightwish, Type O Negative, Moonspell, ect...)

Perky goths put the romance back in necromancy.

Can these styles ever fuse together? I'm thinking of Cybervampire specifically.

I’m 80’s but I list to The Mission UK, The Sister of Mercy, The Cult, Blutengel, Cure and So Many More.

GIRLLLL your explanation is fire and so great, dinamic to watch!! also, Romantic Goth style is quite one of my favorites, absolutely

absolutely devoured with this one lisa this is a banger

This video was so informative and interesting! I'm so interested and excited to see what comes in your future videos

Absolutely nailed this video 🖤

Thanks for this information i was looking for like more details about goth so thank you :)

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I've always appreciated music and the entire goth subculture but I didn't feel confident in actually declaring myself as a goth person (mainly because I still don't know specifically which type I feel most comfortable with). I loved your video, it helped me a lot.

i loveeeeee mana sama too omg

I SAW MANA SAMA I CLICKED

Great video 🦇🦇🦇thank you

That was great, keep up the good work! 👏👏👏👏👏👏🖤

You did well by leaving out "Industrials" even tho dress in Black, and hang out with Goths at Goth Clubs & Dance to Goth Music, Industrials do not identify as Goth, & they are an off shoot from New Wave & ProgRock. Great vidi 😎☕💋

You need to mention Switchblade Symphony.

Love this content, your room looks so good it would be cool to have a room tour

Great content and video 💯💯 keep it up 🙌🤘

06:51 I would call this "original lolita" (because it was the first lolita style that emerged. Gothic lolita arrived later) instead of classic lolita to avoid any confusion because classic lolita is also the name of a lolita substyle.

The makeup slayed!!

Very clear explanation. I. admire the way you speak. I appreciate your accent.

the sisters of mercy is sooooo good.

Omg i love your chanell im a babybat and this helps so much 😻🖤

Adorei o vídeo 💟

Oh my god, no waaayyyyyy 😮😂 I love everything about this vid! I only discovered my love for post punk a few months and ive fallen head over heels in love with the music and history 🥰 After dealing with multiple identity crisis', I feel like I finally found somethig I reaonate with and it feels wonderful.😁 Thanks for the vid! Im researching the subculture and need info on the fashion and this was perfect!

I follow you on tik tok, had no idea you had RU-vid! :)

I love the goth subculture I love the music and the literature and the gothic stories and fashion it an inspiration I still learning of the unique dark ideas and goth people that inspired the subculture it 😍🤩🎉

i love this vid there is alot more but what about makeup for goths??

Very informative video, but next time add many more picture examples of each style. 🕸️🕷️🧛🏻‍♀️🖤

OH MY GOD NO WAYYY 😱

I crave so much to wear some victorian gothic clothing, but the brazilian weather is not friendly to goths -sad-, great video btw!

I kind of felt partially called out for the soft goth😭 I’m not really great at doing goth makeup so I just do a bit of black eyeshadow under my eyes with mascara, wear my rosary beads or other jewelry , a goth band t shirt, and some random jeans every day😭 I swear I’m not lazy I just can’t afford stuff

Omg where is the teddy bear from? It’s so cute ☺️

Great bideo🤠

If there's a Nu Goth on the album cover of the Phonk music that I listen too, is it considered Goth Phonk? Is it about the target demographic? Would it come down to dark themes appearing in the lyrics or tempo in said Phonk? Thought experiment this with me please.

You should try Paralisis Permanente, best Post Punk band from Spain :)

Could you go over vkei fashion?

Where can I find medieval goth clothes or communities?

The way I want to dress, I wouldn't consider it to exactly be goth. Which is why I'm nervous about dressing in dark frilly yet simple skirts, tops, and dresses because I don't want to be considered a "poser." There is so much history behind the gothic style and culture, I don't want to take away from that. I only have a few goth songs in my Playlist, I'm more into rock. Point is, I want to dress more pretty and feminine but dark, so I don't know if that's insulting at all.

MANA SAMA OMGGGGGSJEHQIAI

MANA SAMA

Funny thing is "Bela Lugosi's dead" is 100% reggae based.

where are you from originally?

❤

what about death rock?

My favorite is Gothic lolita

As some one who loves punk and goth ( my fav type of goth is trad) i just love how goth is about standing out and not following societies standards!

What about industrial Goths/ rivitheads? Also, I consider black metal a kind of Goth music…. Does anyone else?

I saw Siouxsie and just I HAD TO CLICK

It's amusing that cybergoths are supposed to be the most elusive.. that's basically the only type we have in my area. I guess that's what happens when you live in an industrial wasteland.

Такая ты смелая, что снимаешь на аглийском! Очень интересный контент, успехов тебе❤

I don't think u can define goth it's always evolving & new stuff are mearge with goth

MICHAEL! 🖤

I’m a little bit of trad, Hippie, Nu, mall, Death Rock and romantic Goth.

MANA SAMA MENTIONED

ily

Ecco, brava, che almeno due parole sulla musica le hai dette e non c'è solo la paccottiglia di outfit

I do belive there are difrent types of goth though

cybergoths arent actually part of the goth subculture, rather a fragment of the rivithead subculture, both their music taste and their fashion. Cybergoths listen mainly to aggrotech, futurepop. A better name for them is cyber industrial.

why is cyber goth part of the goth scene butt gothic metal is not?🤔

I am probably a Soft Goth. I don't like to wear make up.

Goth is also tied to the Vampire subculture.

They are everywhere? Haven't seen a single one in years! At most, I came across a girl in my theatre class: piercings, all black clothes, some boots. But when I asked her if she was goth, she said that it was just a phase at one point, and from what I've gathered, she's more into metal. WHERE ARE THE GOTHS, LISA?!?! On a serious note, you have a peculiar accent, where are you from? Russia? Belarus? Ukraine? Poland?

Богиня королева тьмы

I'm corporate goth!!! lol. (PM for a healthcare firm). Fuck society.

I'm first!!

Goths also started as a anti-Vietnam war movement, they dressed and looked like the dead that died as a result of the war.

where to find a goth girlfriend? i need one in my life

FIFTY SIX YEAR OLD VIRGIN

weird as fuck how people are still styled how we grew up

If u dont listen to goth ur not goth its as simple as dat. Its a music based subculter. You cant change the truth cuz u dobt like it. If i want to dress as a pink fairy and i listen to the music im goth

This is a comment.

Oh god. Please stop trashing someone else's culture
